“I liked it a lot, it was very interesting. He seemed very human to me,” explained Laporta.

“Congratulations, Araujo for being who you are and your family for how they have raised you. We have been able to understand the values ​​with which you have grown up in your life, which are projected in the professional sphere. 

“You are perseverant, a fighter. The personification of what we want in a Barça player: is that he never throws in the towel. Something that Xavi also conveys, he is optimistic and always sees the glass half full,” he added.
